Elvis Presley is back in the news in a big way! On Nov. 16, President Trump awarded him the highest honor a president can bestow on a civilian — the Medal of Freedom — saying, "Presley defined American culture to billions of adoring fans around the world."

And starting to hit newsstands now, The King is featured in the Nov. 26 edition of The Globe, this time because of the letters he wrote to a secret confidante before his death in 1977. The article is about the contents of the book, Letters from Elvis, just released at the beginning of November and its author, Gary Lindberg, who makes his home in the Twin Cities.

Lindberg signed copies of his new book at the Barnes and Noble at the Apache Mall in Rochester, Minn., on Nov. 17, and two media outlets covered the event: KAAL Television and the Rochester Post Bulletin newspaper. At the event, Lindberg shared the story of how the book came to be, did a reading, and also signed copies.

Letters from Elvis is based on the contents of a collection of letters Elvis Presley and his friends—Harry Belafonte, Tom Jones and Marlon Brando—wrote to their secret confidant Carmen Montez. The letters shed light on what was happening at a time in Elvis’ life when he seemed to be in a tragic decline. They discuss torture, heinous Hollywood crimes, various suicide attempts, his overmedication and more.

When President Ronald Reagan designated November as National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month in 1983, he had no idea the illness would later affect him. President Reagan was diagnosed in 1994, and died ten years later of pneumonia, complicated by Alzheimer’s.

Fourteen years later in 2018, an estimated 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and it is the 6th leading cause of death in Americans, killing more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Retired Broadway star and current New Brighton, Minn., resident Christine Fournier lost her mother to Alzheimer's and just released the memoir, "The Unexpected: An Alzheimer’s Journey." In the book, she shares the story of how her once vivacious mother slowly faded away. Christine is hoping this account of her family’s experience with Alzheimer’s Disease will help others learn... and cope with the “living loss” of their loved ones.

Christine talked about her book, and shared details of her journey on the KARE 4 p.m. newscast Nov. 19. The book is available for purchase exclusively on Amazon.com.

Teen author Kayla Jarppi did an amazing job presenting at the Spring Valley Library in Spring Valley, Wisc., today. She shared the story behind how her debut novel, Heaven's Note, came to be, talked about her writing process and also signed copies of her book.
